As of July 2025, we are in the process of editing photos and generating new content to finally bring Emigreys up to date. In the meantime, if you are new to this site (or just feeling nostalgic) please review our travels through 2022 by clicking on the "Gerontology Chronology" tab above. To revisit some of our more general reflections on cultural differences, culinary pitfalls, and fashion faux pas, please click on the "Deep Thoughts (?)" tab in the header.




Before We Were So Rudely Interrupted…


In March of 2020, we were about to embark from Split on a ferry bound for Ancona, whence we intended to travel by train to Lucca. Intrepid travelers that we are, only an event as cataclysmic as a world-wide pandemic could have blown us off course. You’ll never guess what happened next!


You will find an account of our previous sojourns in Europe, our thrilling escape from Croatia, and our enforced confinement back in Washington D.C. and Seattle, by clicking the tab "Gerontology Chronology." Use the drop-down menu to follow our subsequent sojourns year by year.
